In May 2010, he was dismissed from his post due to an alleged \u201cbreach of oath\u201d. On 9 January 2013, the ECtHR found multiple violations of his right to a fair trial (Art. 6 ECHR) and respect for private life (Art. 8 ECHR) and ordered Ukraine to reinstate him immediately as a Supreme Court Judge, the first time the Court has made such an order. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/k0uKC\">ECtHR also found systemic issues with judicial independence and<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/k0uKC\">ordered legislative reform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Volkov was reinstated on 2 February 2015, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/EaPck\">Ukraine has undertaken constitutional and legislative reforms to improve judicial impartiality<\/a>. The Court awarded the applicant \u20ac6,000 in non-pecuniary damages, but reserved the question of pecuniary damages, inviting the parties to submit observations on this issue.<\/p>\n<h3>Judgment<\/h3>\n<p>The parties submitted declarations noting that the Government undertook to pay Mr Volkov 1,430,212.32 UAH (approx. \u20ac41,000) for pecuniary damage, plus any tax chargeable to him. Mr Volkov agreed to waive any further claims against Ukraine in respect of this case. On 6 February 2018, the ECtHR noted this friendly settlement and struck out the remainder of the application.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Other useful resources<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Original judgments in\u00a0<em>Volkov v Ukraine<\/em>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hudoc.echr.coe.int\/eng?i=001-115871\">merits<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hudoc.echr.coe.int\/eng?i=001-180551\">just satisfaction<\/a>\u00a0(HUDOC)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/news\/european-court-rules-dismissal-of-18-ukrainian-judges-unlawful\/\">European Court rules dismissal of 18 Ukrainian judges unlawful<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/news\/council-of-europe-launches-project-to-strengthen-judicial-accountability-in-ukraine\/\">Council of Europe launches project to strengthen judicial accountability in Ukraine<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/news\/oleksandr-volkov-reinstated-as-supreme-court-judge-in-ukraine\/\">Oleksandr Volkov reinstated as Supreme Court Judge in Ukraine<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/news\/ukrainian-parliament-votes-in-favour-of-reinstatement-of-judge-oleksandr-volkov\/\">Ukrainian Parliament votes in favour of reinstatement of Judge Oleksandr Volkov<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/resources\/oleksandr-volkov-v-ukraine\/\">Analysis of\u00a0<em>Volkov v Ukraine\u00a0<\/em>judgment (June 2013)<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/ru.ehrac.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Volkov-awarded-compensation_UKR.pdf\">\u0412\u0438 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0436 \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0447\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0446\u044e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0442\u044e \u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u044e.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"related_module_content_base related_links\">\n<h3 class=\"related_module_content_title multicol\">Links<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_module_content\">\n<li class=\"related_module_content_block first last \"><a class=\"related_module_content_element first last \" href=\"http:\/\/hudoc.echr.coe.int\/eng?i=001-180551\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volkov v Ukraine &#8211;
